On a rainy night, you showed up at my door Child of the night, down and forlorn Still I took you in, it's in the stars above All girls are made the same
Take my chances, rather go to jail Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well He don't care, he couldn't give a damn Deprived of his victim
It was the typical blues, it was more bad news I was walkin' down a dirty street Saw a man, I knew some years before On the corner where the losers meet
You know I've seen plenty like you Trouble ain't enough Runnin' your mouth, there ain't no doubt Thought you were pretty tough I remember all your dirty
out to clean the slate It was some big news when I made the break And I ran for years to avoid the state Another chance I was forced to take Now I'm
